Automatic Phoneme Segmentation with Relaxed Textual Constraints
Speech synthesis by unit selection requires the segmentation of a large single speaker high quality recording. Automatic speech recognition techniques, e.g. Hidden Markov Models (...

Role of head pose estimation in speech acquisition from distant microphones
Reverberant environments pose a challenge to speech acquisition from distant microphones. Approaches using microphone arrays have met with limited success. Recent research using a...

Auditory-Based Spectral Amplitude Estimators for Speech Enhancement
We propose a new family of Bayesian estimators for speech enhancement where the cost function includes both a power law and a weighting factor. The parameters of the cost function,...

Using a pitch-synchronous residual codebook for hybrid HMM/frame selection speech synthesis
This paper proposes a method to improve the quality delivered by statistical parametric speech synthesizers. For this, we use a codebook of pitch-synchronous residual frames, so a...
